==== The basics things about MarlinTPC and ILC software ==== 1. ILC software local repository is installed at: /data/data021/mbatygov/Install/v01-17-05/ One can find any folders in that directory which contains main parts of ILC software. Marlin is a C++ software framework for ILC software. It uses the LCIO data model and can be used for all tasks that involve processing of LCIO files, e.g. reconstruction and analysis. A good place to start reading about old good basics about Marlin you can find here: /data/data021/mbatygov/Install/v01-17-05/Marlin/v01-05/README MarlinTPC is a part of ILC software specifically related to ILC TPC. LCIO (Linear Collider I/O) is a persistency framework and event data model for LC detector studies. It is intended to be used in both simulation studies and analysis frameworks. It provides a C++ and a Java implementation with a common interface (API) - a Fortran interface to the C++ implementation also exists. ILC TPC test beam data binary files are written as .acq files. The .acq needed to be converted to .lcio files, before used in data analysis processing. See more details about LCIO here: http://lcio.desy.de
